IBA CEDIR will host I-Bazaar 2026, a marketplace event that brings startups, their products and the public together, as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2026. The event will take place on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, from 4 PM to 8 PM at the IBA Main Campus in Karachi. It is being presented under the tagline Entrepreneurs Thrive Here, and organizers have described it as a place where innovative startups, unique products and entrepreneurial dreams come together in one location.
According to the announcement, visitors to I-Bazaar will be able to discover products that are not widely available, meet the founders behind emerging brands and shop locally while supporting startups. The organizers have framed the event as more than a shopping occasion, saying that buying from the participating startups is a way of supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs and being part of their journey. For young businesses, a marketplace of this kind offers a direct way to reach customers, test how people respond to their products and build early visibility without the cost of a permanent retail space.
Interested participants can register through the official link: register for I-Bazaar 2026. The announcement did not say how many startups will take part, which brands or product categories will be on show, whether entry is free or whether startups can still apply for stalls, so those details will need to be checked with the organizers. IBA CEDIR is the Center of Entrepreneurial Development, Innovation and Research at the Institute of Business Administration, Karachi, which runs programmes to support student and early-stage entrepreneurs.
